Browse CASE generators & specs →

Before you start

  • Be sure to wipe excess oil from the nipple and hose
  • Failure to slide the clips over the hose at the beginning will require the clips to be stretched over later, which may permanently damage the clip
  • E-Z Clip components should not be reused

Procedure

  1. Cut the hose to proper length with an appropriate cutting tool. Ensure the cut is made square to the hose length.
  2. Install two proper-sized clips onto the cut end of the hose. Both clips should have the same orientation for ease of assembly.
  3. Lubricate the nipple with a generous amount of refrigeration or A/C system compressor lubricating oil. This is REQUIRED to lower the force of nipple insertion.
  4. Insert the nipple into the hose. Check the gap between the cut end of the hose and the shoulder on the nipple to ensure full insertion. Avoid kinking or other damage to the hose.
  5. Snap the cage into the groove on the nipple. The arms should extend over the hose length. When the cage has been correctly installed, it will be able to rotate in the groove.
  6. Slide the clips over the cage arms and into the channels on each arm.
  7. Use pliers to close the clips. Position the pliers squarely on the clip connection points and keep them square during closing.
